In the dynamic landscape of education, the integration of technology plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. As Nigeria strives for socio-economic development, the need for a skilled workforce becomes increasingly crucial. This research paper delves into the realm of curriculum development and delivery within the context of TVET institutions in Nigeria, with a specific focus on the transformative potential of technological adoption. The research design used in this study was a descriptive research design. The primary data was generated through the field survey using structured questionnaire as a major research instrument. The sampling for the study was formulated using Taro Yamane sampling formulae. Quantitative data collected were analyzed, presented and interpreted using descriptive statistics. The research statistics used for this study is the Pearson correlation analysis and its method coefficient was used to test the level of significance. The study concluded that technological adoption is a global tool that must be recognized by both government and TVET institutions in its curriculum development and delivery. Among the recommendations is that funds should be made available for the TVET institutions for the procurement of technological devices that would aid curriculum development and delivery across the nation.
